A Catholic workout tracker for iPhone and Android
Palma records your runs, walks, and workouts with dependable background GPS — and weaves in the feast day, the Rosary of the day, a daily word from your coach Sebastian, and Palms shared with the friends running alongside you.
Free on both stores. Records in the background with your screen locked; workouts from your watch flow in through Apple Health on iPhone and Health Connect on Android.
What's inside
A serious GPS tracker at its core, with a life of faith woven through it — not bolted on.
Start a run, lock your phone, go. Background GPS keeps recording with live distance, duration, and pace — and your route draws itself in gold when you open the finished activity. Runs, walks, rides, swims, lifts: the whole catalog records.
The road you've covered: every activity with its route map, plus the Ledger of what it all adds up to — streaks, weekly mileage, longest run, best pace, and your whole year at a glance.
A training plan built around where you actually are — and a daily coaching word written fresh each morning from your streak, your miles, today's workout, and today's feast.
The people you add, in a shared feed — their weeks play as stories, route by route. When someone shows up, give them a Palm: encouragement with some meaning behind it.
The feast day on your Today screen, the Rosary of the day with its mysteries laid out bead by bead, seasons like St. Michael's Lent kept day by day — and any workout can be offered for an intention.
Every workout on your watch — Apple Watch, Garmin, anything that writes to Apple Health or Health Connect — flows into Palma on its own. Finished runs can still mirror out to Strava.
Meet your coach
Most training plans are a spreadsheet. Sebastian is a coach: a structured plan built for where you're starting from — with rest when you've earned it — and one short message each morning, written fresh for where you actually are.
He knows your streak, your weekly miles, today's workout, and today's feast. One word a day. No noise.
"Show up today. That is the whole assignment. Today: 2.5 mi at a conversational pace. Hold back — easy means easy."
Sebastian · The Comeback, week 3
Run with intention
Palma treats a run the way a runner of faith already does — as time that can be given away.
The liturgical calendar lives on your Today screen, not in another app.
Attach an intention to any workout — for a person, a petition, a thanksgiving. The Circle carries its common intentions together.
The day's mysteries, laid out to pray — a meditation with every bead, opening prayers to closing prayers.
The day's readings and a short meditation, right where your morning starts.
A Palm says more than a thumbs-up. Hand them to friends who showed up.
